I completely agree with the previous statement in saying that this doc is nothing but a turnstile for CII meds. When seeing the doctor, all that is required to get a new, or any med prescribed to you is simply to ask him for it. He never completed any kind of physical exam, nor did he ask me of any scans, x-rays, or images of any kind, nor did he inquire about prior diagnoses. This guy had zero knowledge of me - ZERO - and he gave me scripts (from the initial visit on out) for hydrocodone, methadone, xanax, adderall, soma, HCTZ, and oxycodone ... all at the same time ... all at ridiculous dosages, like 6 hydrocodones, 6 methadone, 3 bars, 3 somas, etc. ... all because I said I needed these meds for reasons I came to know from searching for a solution to chronic back pain for 12 years prior. Came across this guy because of a girl, also a patient of his, who recommended him to me, stating that this doc prescribes anything to anyone (within reason). I didn't believe her at first, but became one real quick after my intial visit with him. Again, no physical exam, no serious probing inquiries of any kind, no knowledge of me whatseoever, with exception to what I told him, and I was out the door with scripts for all the above meds. Yes, on my intial visit, I asked this doctor for the above meds for reasons for which they are prescribed, paid him his OV fee and cruised. You wouldn't believe how easily this cocktail of pharmaceuticals can blow up your life, though!!! I was chased by a freaking helicopter when I had a serious and profound reaction to the mixture of meds in my body. This makes sense, though, because the meds that this guy was prescribing me were set against each other, meaning that some would produce the opposite effects of others. Not that I had any decision in it, but my mind just lost it one night and I became a person I am not, though I was and still am an addict. This doc is an addict's wet dream, like the McMuffin of doctors for addicts of all kinds!!! Gotta say that the guy is very neat, and pleasant to be around. What a guy - not only is he nice, but he can prescribe you things in amounts that you never thought possible. If you are an addict still in that dream, go see this doctor. He will help you stay right there, like you're in a freeze frame. If you instead have a life and are pursuing things other than #20 for $100, please keep moving. Some people have posted polarizing statements about his staff being difficult with patients regarding money. This, too, makes complete sense, because think about it - his patient pool is mainly comprised of addicts, or soon to be, and an addict needs someone at the wheel for them because these drugs give you such a false sense of security, making your reality a complete oblivion to you. And this doctor prescribed all this medication to a person who knew he was an addict, and the doctor had to know. There was no hiding it, as it was eating up my enitre life. He had to know. He believed my BS and I suck at poker ... he had to know without a second glance because that's what his training had taught him to do. Instead of using his enriched training in medicine, this doctor seems to have mastered in the newly developed art of writing way too many scripts for people who whine too much, or for those who simply do not appreciate reality for what it is. Their loss.
